A bee wax candle is one of the easiest candles to make, if not the easiest.
It does not need any heat to create them so even children can make these little masterpieces without any adult supervision.
These are unique and beautiful candles to decorate your home with.
Bees wax is basically an after-product from honey that is produced by bees.
The drops of this product form a sheet of scales which can actually be bought in this form or otherwise in blocks like you would find paraffin wax.
This type of candle will possess the same appearance that the wax was originally formed in unless it's altered by coloration or some other candle fabrication technique.
The sheets of wax that are most common are usually unscented, but they can be found with fragrances and also come in a large variety of colors.
To make a candle out of bees wax, it is simplest to use one sheet, or you may decide to cut the sheet in half.
Cut the wick a little longer than the length or width of the sheet depending on which way you are going to use it.
Any type of wick will work for these candles, although it is better to use wicks that are covered in wax because they will maintain their rigidity while you are making your candle.
Start making your candle by placing the wick at the edge of the wax sheet.
Begin by rolling up the sheet slowly while preventing any breaks in the wax.
If the sheet begins to break or if it is too stiff to roll it correctly, you can use a hair dryer on the lowest setting to soften the wax a little bit before trying again.
When you are finished rolling the wax sheet around the wick, gently squeeze the wax edges with your fingers until it sticks to the body of the candle.
You will not need any extra heat because your body temperature will melt the wax sufficiently.
Once this done, you will have a brand new bee wax candle ready to burn or give away as a gift.
